Yes, it is. They want you to mount the DVD. You already have it mounted via NFS. If its just the ISO, mount it with a loop option. If its the DVD directory, just point jigdo at it. > If this is possible, maybe it is worth adding > a brief explanation to the instructions. This is not necessary if you understand what an ISO is. An ISO is an image of a filesystem. When you mount it, you can see what is inside that filesystem (files and directories). It the ISO (either a file or a real DVD) is mounted on a remote system, then you only need to point jigdo at the mount point. If the ISO is made available via NFS, then mount it locally on your system. Something like: mount -t iso9660 -o "loop,ro" /mnt/ISO /path/to/dir/with/iso/ISOfilename this assumes you created the local mount point /mnt/ISO to mount it on. -- Kevin J.
